I'm Canadian by birth, but at least 3/4 Scottish by descent (not sure how those English, Irish and Polish personages snuck into the family picture - brigands no doubt lol). I thought it was pretty funny. Golf, after all (so they say), was invented in Scotland (as was curling, my other favourite sport - and hey just TRY selling curling rocks at a garage sale - you'd have to pay two small boys and a man to cart them away LOL!).

JaniQ: there is never enough golf in people's lives (male or female). Love the game (apparently I'm a glutton for self-abuse lol). Looking forward to retirement myself : )

Well, we're not allowed to tease Americans Dizart, few of them can cope with it.

When my father was getting maudlin, and composing his epitaph at length, we pointed out that they charge by the letter on tombstones. Being a thrifty type, he decided not to die on that occasion and to have a fit of the giggles instead.Scotland, the country that defeated the Romans, given us so many inventors, engineers, and creative thinkers and is heading for independence.

Exporter of manufactured tartans to the gullible.

'What's black and blue and floats upside down in the Minch? Do you know that one Dizart?
